Your mission
As Tech Lead you are collaborating with the Co-Founders to refine our tech vision. You develop the architecture roadmap, thus making sure that development of our web learning platform and our mobile app is aligned and oversee the Tech Team ensuring our ambitious goals are met.
  • Lead the tech team and collaborate with the leadership team to make sure that together, we can drive our product and codary forward
  • Alignment of the overall software architecture to support our goals
  • It's vitally important that you have a holistic knowledge and understanding of our products: Their design and relationships with each other and the codary's overall technical architecture. It's also equally important to help the team evolve the products over time in a maintainable, scalable way.
  • Act as the technical liaison between business teams, the product team and stakeholders

  • Keep yourself and the team up to date through the introduction of innovative solution approaches and tech trends to further improve the development
  • Work out KPIs that measure the current state of the team and system and constantly help us improve
First things first!
This is our "wish list". Many studies show that, particularly women, only apply if they meet a high percentage of the requirements. For us, it is important that the "overall skillset" and mindset is right. So please apply even if you don't have 100% of the skills but are highly motivated to start with us!
 
We especially welcome applications from women and people from the BIPoC community.
